It's completely each person's choice, but if submissions could include a note of the settings used that would be really useful for anyone trying to improve their times.

Also, does anyone know if there is any benefit in reducing the velocity setting? Presumably not but I am not sure how exactly how the game physics work.

I also don't know exactly how it works, but there seems to be no benefit to turning down velocity, besides for more control

I was actually about to create this thread and wondering if anyone could give out the "settings" technique. However, one of my most insane fastest run ever is Level 8 where I actually got 4th place World Leaderboard. My settings for Level 8 is 10 Gravity, 10 Jump, 10 Velocity.

Thanks guys. I may actually try emailing the dev.

Not sure if the dev would be active on that email anymore :\ Haven't looked into that. If he replies, let us know :D

Hi guys, I'm really happy to see your interest for speed run. I already answer to drgrumble by email, but I can repeat it here:

You've right, turning down velocity gives no one advantage. You must keep it to 10. To be honest, I created this setting when I wanted to work more on speed accelerators, but I did not have time. It is true that I should delete it.

Again you've right, Gravity and Jump physics are simple. Gravity = 1 & Jump = 10 : You can jump the height of 4 blocks Gravity = 5 & Jump = 5 : 2 blocks Gravity = 10 & Jump = 10 : 2 blocks and one little platform The best settings is most of the time Gravity 10 and Jump 10. Only on few map, it's advantageous to reduce Jump for better sneaking or reduce Gravity to skip some platforms. The big advantage to change settings is to find shortcut. I hid plenty of shortcuts in most maps. Some of them are only accessible with special settings.

Take a look to this video, I show some shortcuts for the level 32 : https://www.facebook.com/GangScred/videos/395905004102633/

Have fun with Speed Run, and don't hesitate to ask me if you have another question or suggestion ;)

Thank you :) It's a mystery, I am 71th at the first map with 6.81, I made hundreds of tests but impossible to pass under the bar of 6 seconds .. If one of you made a 5.xx time, I want an explanation :p

If you like the game, don't hesitate to rate it, I am near from 100 notes :)

@gangscred I tried lots of times too but I think the game has a little glitch which I do not know how to perform but it like the person somehow "teleported glitch" or gain "massive speedwalk" so that they get faster time. It happened to me once but I don't know how to do it.

@ChocolateTheGaming One of my friends had already told me that he had teleported under the road once, following a lag on his phone. It never happened to me personally but if the teleportation takes place a block ahead, it is true that it is possible to save time ... This is obviously very rare, I never could see one of these glitches. Have you an old Android?

@gangscred Thank you for the shortcut on Level 32, I just got the World Record on Level 32 :D Video: My settings: 5 Gravity 10 Velocity 10 Jump

Damn it begins to be very interesting ! Really nice run ! There are some others maps with big shortcuts like this one, and even me I found new shortcuts sometimes :)

@gangscred that is still just level 32, if you would kind enough to share all shortcuts from Level 1 - 40, that would be very nice ;) hahahaha

I tried to make the best Full Game speed run. If you are not too disturbed by the quality, you can find the must known shortcuts for most maps.
